Full inquiry into oil
leak which sparked
fire
The Federal Government
will conduct a full inquiry
into an oil leak which has
been spewing oil into the
Timor Sea for 10 weeks
when the spill is contained,
Resources Minister Martin
Ferguson says.
A fire broke out on the
deck of the West Atlas rig
and Montara well head
platform on Sunday when
the company responsible
began its operation to plug
the spill with mud.
Angry Keating
demands changes to
privacy laws
Enraged by what he
regards as an invasion of
his family's privacy, former
prime minister Paul
Keating has called for the
rewriting of Australia's
privacy laws.
His proposal would
require media
organisations to gain a
person's permission
before publishing a
photograph or a story
deemed to involve their
private life.
Demanding a crackdown
on the way media
organisations operate,
Mr Keating said that,
outside of official functions
and public interest
considerations,
newspapers and other
media should not be
permitted to photograph
or report on any person
without their consent.
Ferguson admits guilt
in inter view
Convicted pedophile
Dennis Ferguson has
publicly admitted his guilt
in the abduction and
sexual abuse of three
children in a Brisbane
motel in 1987.
In an interview to be aired
on Monday night's Four
Corners program on the
ABC, Ferguson speaks
publicly for the first time
about the offence against
the three, aged six, seven
and eight, that sent him to
jail for 14 years.

Mr Ferguson told ABC
radio that the first priority
was to complete the
plugging of the spill first,
and remove the source of
fuel from the fire.

A boat carrying around 40
people has sunk off the Cocos
Islands, west of Australia.
A spokesman for Home
Affairs Minister Brendan
O'Connor said the Australian
Maritime Safety Authority's
(AMSA) Rescue Coordination
Centre responded to a
distress signal late last night
from a ship 350 nautical
miles north-west of the
Cocos Islands.
"The Rescue Coordination
Centre reports that the
vessel has sunk and up to
40 people may have been in
the water at one stage,
" the
spokesman said.
At least 15 people had been
reported to be rescued so
far, but it is not yet known if
the boat was carrying
asylum seekers.
He said while the ship was in
Australia's search and rescue
zone, two foreign vessels
were at the scene helping.
A Royal Australian Air Force
P-3 Orion aeroplane was
also en route to assist early
today, the spokesman said.-
